The Nevada GOP's leaders are subverting the voters' will expressed in the last election by attempting to recall 3 Democratic/Independent state senators. Tony T. Smith is opposed to this shady play by the Nevada GOP.

A prime example of the hypocrisy of this effort is that recall leader and "man of the people" State Senator Michael Roberson took in a grand total of $0 from small donors last year. He should focus on representing his constituents rather than wealthy donors.

Candidate for Nevada's Assembly District 4 Tony T. Smith has called for mandatory liability insurance for firearms in the State of Nevada. This policy is similar to the requirement to maintain liability insurance for operating a motor vehicle due to the risk of harm associated with driving. There is no less risk of harm associated with firearms, and there is no reason to apportion risk differently for firearms over vehicles. And to fill in any "gaps" not covered by mandatory firearm liability insurance, Tony is calling for the establishment of a Gun Violence Victim Fund via a small surcharge on firearm sales. We must act now to lessen the financial toll caused by gun violence.

Please take a moment to contribute to the fund set up for victims of the Strip shooting attack:

Candidate for Nevada's Assembly District 4 Tony T. Smith signed a pledge showing his full support for amending our Constitution if necessary to finally end Big Money in politics. Tony will fight to pass the toughest campaign finance laws in the country if elected to make sure our representatives are working for the people, not powerful special interests.

Local attorney and political activist Tony T. Smith announced his candidacy for Nevada Assembly District 4 on July 29, 2017.

Tony is running to pass a comprehensive series of legislative and community initiatives called “The Honest Deal” to ensure all Nevadans have the vibrant economy, sustainable environment, and strong communities they deserve. This century will present enormous changes for our economy, environment, and society – Tony T. Smith is a leader proposing big ideas to meet these big challenges.

What stands in the way of our ability to realize big ideas to meet big challenges is our corrupt campaign finance system. Tony believes that big money in politics is poison to our democracy. This is why he is running a “practice what you preach” campaign and refusing to accept any donation over $250. The people of Assembly District 4 deserve a representative that is only accountable to them and not to special interests.
